FLAT TIRE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM (if so equipped) This vehicle is equipped with the low tire pressure warning system, which displays the pressure of each tire independently (except the spare tire) on the display screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure (lower than 27 psi, 190 kPa), the low tire pressure warning system will activate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure warning light. This system will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 20 MPH (32 km/h). For more details, please refer to "Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders" in the "2. Instruments and controls" section, "Tire pressure information" in the "4. Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio systems" section and "Low tire pressure warning system" in the "5. Starting and driving" section. vehicle as soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the pressure for all four tires and adjust the pressure to the COLD tire pressure shown on the tire placard. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible. ¼ When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, the pressure of that tire will not be indicated or monitored by the low tire pressure warning system. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting. ¼ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors. Stopping the vehicle 1. Safely move the vehicle off the road away from traffic. 2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. 3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Shift the selector lever in P (Park) position. 4. Turn off the engine. 5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic, and to signal professional road assistance personnel that you need assistance. 6. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away from traffic and clear of the vehicle. WARNING ¼ Make sure that the parking brake is securely applied and the selector lever is shifted into P (Park). ¼ Never change tires when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is hazardous. ¼ Never change tires if oncoming traffic WARNING ¼ If the low tire pressure warning light blinks while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the CHANGING A FLAT TIRE If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions below. 6-2 In case of emergency
